Artificial Intelligence will certainly be one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century. While it holds enormous  potential in addressing some of our most pressing societal challenges, it will certainly impact many aspects of our day-to-day lives, including how we work and do business. This rise of machines that behave like humans is creating a great deal of uncertainty. What jobs will this new technology eliminate? What jobs will it create?
